How To Build A Modern Outdoor Sofa | DIY

In this video I'm showing you how I built an outdoor sofa from start to finish. It's suitable for outdoors as it's built from weather resistant western red cedar and easily outfitted with store bought cushions. Check out some similar chairs my friend's built below.

Love the way your mind I almost always forget to use scraps as marking, and position holders.

I really am so envious of you in America, with the price and variety of timber available to you.
Western red cedar of that size, quality and quantity is just not available. And even if available impossibly expensive.

Ciao April. Guardo sempre i tuoi video e devo dire che sei sempre più brava. E non mi stanco mai di guardarti nei tuoi progetti.

Rounded edges are friendly edges. A detail I would incorporate in a few places into an otherwise awesome project. Thanks April!

Wonderful! I think I'll change it up a bit by modifying the "legs" using some of the ideas from your "build a rocking chair" video! Thanks so very much for the fantastic contributions you have made to our craft! - Wood probie

Great couch! I like it! ( So did my 😆!)
Looks like another happy project in my immediate future....as this was discussed. The "width" adaptable design grabbed both of our attentions.
Excellent work April!👍
